Einstein's theory of General Relativity was proposed over 100 years ago and has successfully passed a large number of observational tests in weak gravitational fields. On the contrary, the strong field regime is still largely unexplored. Astrophysical black holes are ideal laboratories for testing gravity in the strong field regime. Here I will briefly review the current efforts of my group to test the strong gravitational field around black holes using X-ray data from NuSTAR, RXTE, Suzaku, and XMM-Newton.
